Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
He pretty much HAS to sell for lower to actually have a market - who buys from an illicit source if it's not even cheaper than through the normal channels?
if he tried to sell through normal channels, he'd probably get slapped with patent infringements or similar legal bs.
Patent infringement, yes. But there's also a gazillion quality control rules and forms and FDA submissions to manufacture drugs licitly. We know Walter White can control the quality, but does he have the patience to file the paperwork?
On season 1, no, he run away from inspection all the time.
On season 3, no, he knows where the inspector lives, and the inspector runs away from him all the time.
On season 7, no, but he runs the FDA and makes them add bullshit requirements to impede big-pharma all the time.
You know, I’m almost 40, a big reader, and have seen and heard “illicit” my whole life.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone use licit, and that’s fascinating.
Given the world of BB, he would exchange some key components of the drug with some household stuff, and end up with a cancer drug that is "like, 100% pure, bitch".
You might buy from an illicit source at full price if the genuine product was outright denied.
What would lead to someone being outright denied to buy medication, even if they pay with their own money? I could see it for things opiates, but no one takes cancer drugs for fun.
You're not from America, are you?
No. I would be surprised if every American knew the answer, though. People tend to be ignorant about things they didn't personally experience.
Won't anyone please think of the shareholders? Without the monopolies they pay lobbyists to maintain, nobody would ever invent anything. There's literally no other way; I checked and none of them are profitable at all.
At first but then he goes bad when big pharma comes after him and he wins and corners the market
No at first he flies under the radar but his drugs end up being more effective than the market ones which causes doctors to start using them in clincs. first for family and friends but eventually more generally. The fbi, cia, nsa, dea, fda, wwf, and such get involved and he is caught and brought up on terrorism changes since he is to popular with the citizenry to face legitimate charges.
More like 'Breaking Even Worse'. Whole US would go after him.
